Jill had beaten Liz Manley in the SP here and skated well but Manley's great performance easily pulled her up into first overall. Still it's an interesting early glimpse of Trenary before her surprise win at US Nationals in early 1987.
@russianskatingfan I actually enjoyed her 1990 music choice especially the opening piece which she interpreted well. It was because of Midori's 10th place in figures that Jill won her World title.
Why didnt she continue skating beautiful programs to nice music like this rather than the ridiculous macarana/egyptian dance she did to win her controversial World title over Ito in 1990.
Did Simon Reed make a mistake during his commentary? Part of her routine was a 1 foot single Axel into a Triple Salchow. She did this throughout her career, some times getting it right but more often than not missing it out. Very unusual for Simon to get it wrong. He was one of the best figure skating commentators around.
This is a great program with nice choreography, but Jill never had the back flexibility to do nice laybacks, and her take off on the double axel was always unstable and unreliable, however she covered the ice even better than Thomas and Manley

That fall at 2:20 going into the camel spin after the double loop was quite unexpected. Love hearing Betty Callaway's comments :-)
